Congrats on getting in! That's exciting! I lived in Vegas before we moved here, I know how competitive that program is. I wasn't even trying to go there, I was trying to go to CSN before we moved here and I got into this BSN program. I'm sure you'll do great, Good luck!

Thanks so much! I'm so excited but more than a bit nervous. Congratulations to you too!

Hello,

I am starting this Fall tool! I am really anxious as well. I am also a little bit nervous that I do not know anybody that is in the program. Have you registered for your classes yet?

Hey!

I've taken classes with just a couple of people starting with us but aside from them I don't know anyone. I did register. The permissions for our clinical section just went through today, so I now have every class set! How are you doing with all of the clinical check-offs due at orientation?

I just finished registering as well! Which section did you choose for 301LR? I have done everything on the list except the Liability Insurance. I will probably do that sometime this week. What do you plan on doing over the summer?

I ended up in section 1005, how about you? I've got still got to buy major health insurance, but the UNR insurance isn't available until the first part of August. I still have to purchase the Liability Insurance too but I was told we can hold off until a little closer to when class starts so we don't have to pay for extra coverage we're not going to use before section starts. I plan on visiting friends and family by going on some kind of crazy Northwest road trip! I hear that this will be our last chance to catch up with loved ones or vacation until we finish the program :nailbiting: . Other than that, I'm just working to try and save a little money. Do you have any plans for the summer? Which class are you most nervous about? I hear theory is a challenge (not that anything will be easy).

I am in section 1005 as well! I also got section 1001 for 318. Have you found out what the cost would be for the insurance through the school? I was thinking about switching to that, I ended up getting most of my stuff done for orientation at the clinic up there. Do you know if it is better to purchase a parking permit? I am getting really excited for orientation!

I do not have any set plans for the summer yet. I am going to try to spend as much time with my daughter outside as I possibly can. I think we may try to plan a trip to Disneyland with her, and possibly go see my parents one last time before the program begins. I may be moving as well. Everything is kind of up in the air. Hopefully I can get everything organized in time!

I have a couple friends in the WNC program, and one friend in the TMCC program. I have heard that the assessment class was the most difficult to get used to, and testing. I am not sure what to expect though because each of us had completely different learning styles and struggles in our classes, and all of them are different programs.
